53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – The Square (2017)
Practice what you preach, no matter the circumstances. It’s the main take away from Ruben Ostlund’s (Force Majeure) Palme d’Or winner The Square, but also the easiest for a mainstream audience to grasp. Laced with satirical comedy regarding political correctness, morality, viral social media infamy, absurd jokes so erratic only the director himself could explain their purpose (how about […]

Jessie Robertson reviews the season six premiere episode of Arrow… Who Survived the Explosion on Lian Yu? Surprise! Everyone!

Couple that with an absent minded Riddler, overly paranoid kingpin Penguin and an irate […]
